Series Statement: Routledge Library Editions: Development Series

Content: First published in 1991 this text provides an incisive analysis of theories concerning the origins of economic inequality between nations. Central to the author's investigation is the concept of underdevelopment, and a focus on successive Western 'systems of conceptualisation' of the relationship between the west and the rest of the world. The first part of the book concerns the Marx/Engels theory of the Asiatic mode of production, and the anti-Imperialist reaction against Eurocentrisim initiated by the theoretical synthesis of J. A. Hobson. This is followed by an examination of the post-World War II era, particularly the evolution of development studies and the differing versions of dependency theory

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "The thesis presented looks to give the reader a comprehensive insight into the development of the GoBD guidelines into what they are today. The guidelines are a direct result of the progression of the tax audit field where it is increasingly important to look at tax law and IT systems jointly. This will become clearer through the analysis of the AER Group where the processes used by the company must be critically analysed in order to assess the degree of compliance to the guidelines. This follows the 'four pillars' model presented by PSP which seeks to guide companies in their implementation efforts. It will be showed that the systems and processes used are an asset for companies in their implementation efforts and if used properly it means the process are compliant to the GoBD principles. However, the biggest challenge for a company such as the one presented, is the daunting task of the procedural documentation redaction. Keywords: Tax law, IT systems, ERP systems, GoBD compliance."
